RAS Tamil 14. Palm leaf. Formerly described as 'Tamil poetry'. The
manuscript relates various arrangements made by Kulakkottan (a Saiva
prince originally from the Chola country of South India) with different
chieftains and
temple servants to maintain the religious services at the Koneswaram
temple, which is located in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. The text also refers
to some administrative titles, such as vannipam, mutali, etc. This
manuscript is a useful addition to the already-available
sources on Kulakkottan and his activities in relation to the Koneswaram
temple. Catalogue description provided by Devashan Kunasingam, March
2024. Possibly acquired by Sir Alexander Johnston. Referred sources. 1.
